Hey all, This is my first post to this great site. I am building a 41 chev 2 door sedan and am wondering what product people recommend or wouldn't ever recommend for sound deadening and heat insulating the interior. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ghengis

IF YOU ARE USING SOME ONE ELSES MONEY BUY THE BEST. GIVE ME MORE INFO ON Lizard Skin AND HOW YOU APPLY IT.

RedricoAdelphianet [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Pittsburgh, Pennsylvannia   Posted by tlp1968  -  03/30/2008 04:20 PM I have to agree with Shine and Don, yes we are not all rich and it sounds like a cheap option to use roofing materials at the Home Depot, Lowes or Menards but those are not designed for use in an enclosed automobile and from a weight stand point- they are heavy compared to Lizard Skin. The fire safety alone had me sold. Non-flammable, no weight addition, can be applied all over the inside and select outside areas. If you must use peel and stick pick something safe for automobiles- your health is worth much more and Lizard Skin is cost effective.

I have to agree with Shine, Don, Tammy and most others here. I was in your position a couple of weeks ago use the Lizard Skin if you want to get it right the first time. '40MercCoupe [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Greeneville, Tennessee   Posted by whipsold39  -  03/30/2008 09:42 PM OK THANKS FOR THE WEBSITE ON LIZ SKIN If I read it correctly I need 2 gal. to do my truck at $189 a gal. and a special spray gun at a $140. That is a total of $518 to do one 1948 ford truck. If I missed something please correct me before I order.

They also will sell you a gun if you need one. I know several users of the product and all have been satisfied with it's application and performance. As I said Lizard Skin makes a great product but they are not the only game in town. Shop and compare and pick the one best for your application. orphans2 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Stewartstown, Pennsylvannia Charter Member since November 2001   Posted by jimmothershead  -  03/31/2008 11:00 PM Shine....good point about flamable materials in cars. About 40% of street rods today are flamable fiberglass, reinforced with steel and flamable kiln dried oak. Flamable vinyl material is applied to flamable luan paneling using flamable contact adhesive. Most carpet is flamable nylon or some other synthetic. As much as we think about safety in brakes and steering, we loose it in the fire area.,,,food for thought. Jim [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Huntingtown, Maryland   Posted by tlp1968  -  04/01/2008 11:56 AM Just a note...some aftermarket carpeting is treated for fire resistance. Great reason to avoid buying the cheap stuff at AutoZone to carpet your ride. StreetRodding.com Marketing Director [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Springfield,, Illinois   Posted by farmer  -  04/01/2008 11:09 PM Welcome Ghengis. Listen to the pros and save your money on something that's easy to upgrade later and won't sacrifice safety. Brian you're shamless. farmer [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Carthage, Illinois   Posted by aosborn  -  04/02/2008 01:23 AM A company called Sound Down makes a terrific sound deadening carpet underlayment. It comes in various weights and densities and works very well. It is used in yachts to kill engine room noise, and for generator compartments on high end RV's. It is also available foil backed to stop floor board heat transfer. Not cheap, but what does it cost to do the job twice? aosborn [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Olympia, Washington   Posted by Ghengis  -  04/03/2008 02:58 PM oops how thick do you guys apply lizard skin or cool car. manufacturer says .060? Shine, are you saying that you use the sound control instead of the insulation? Thanks Ghengis Ghengis [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Weston, Wisconsin   Posted by tlp1968  -  04/03/2008 02:59 PM Ghengis, somehow you double posted and we took one off then the other disappeared! Sorry about that, please post your question about thickness again and I am sure Shine will give you his formula. StreetRodding.com Marketing Director [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Springfield,, Illinois   Posted by Crazyhorse Rod Shop  -  04/03/2008 03:06 PM i use both. sound control first then heat control. i do sound at about 30+ and heat i try to get about 60. hell just slobber it on thick dont poke the porchdog........he bites [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] BLUFF DALE, Texas Charter Member since March 2003   Posted by Crazyhorse Rod Shop  -  04/03/2008 05:27 PM well jim if you cover the car inside with lizardskin it stops a large portion of the fire hazzard. i like lizardskin because i can use the hose on it and seal inside of door post, windshield header and all the nooks and crannies. until i did one i did not know how much difference it would make. then you have to get the windlace right to kill wind noise. dont poke the porchdog........he bites [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] BLUFF DALE, Texas Charter Member since March 2003   Posted by Ghengis  -  04/09/2008 02:15 PM does that stuff expand/shrink when it drys if your filling things? Ghengis Ghengis [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Weston, Wisconsin   Posted by REBORN55  -  04/09/2008 03:35 PM What about some type of sealer to hide the seams left in someone elses body panel or floor patch. Most of the stuff I hav seen isn't thick enough to fill some of the gaps of the metal overlayment under the car. You knoe the type of gaps when metal is placed over metal to patch holes and not finished off properly. Ken [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] De soto, Illinois   Posted by da34guy  -  04/09/2008 11:54 PM Use seam sealer first. Let it cure out for a couple days.
